Today's apple is the Koru. Koru is a brand name for a variety called Plumac. a chance seedling that was discovered in new Zealand in 1998. The grower's mother-in-law had discarded an old Fuji in their orchard and he helped it grow into a tree which yielded some delicious apples. DNA testing confirmed it was a mix of the Fuji and Braeburn.
This is a a tasty apple. It has personality, style and grace. My apple was juicy, crisp, sweet and sour with notes of honey, mellon, chamomile, rainbows and unicorns! look for the Koru peeps!
Tomorrow, I review the Aurora. Crunch on and on and on!!!
where do you buy all these different apples?
ReplyDeleteJust regular grocery stores, the Pick 'n Save near me has a good selection of apples. I don't think people look that closely at how many different kinds are on display.
